    Bald spot on my roosters leg

    He had it on his comb and waddles. I did just discover that my chickens have mites or lice. Not sure which. They are small and yellowish. I will be treating with bronco spray and hope it does the trick!

    Coccidiosis?

    I did purchase corid but the dosage is a bit confusing. It shows 10 oz per 125 gallons. (For calves) My math came up with 1/2 oz for a 3 gallon waterer. Or am I way off?

    Coccidiosis?

    Found these 2 poops in my coop this morning. Chickens are acting normal and still eating / drinking. I know blood in stool is normally a sign of coccidiosis but could there be any other reason? Also, is amprolium the only/best option for treatment? Thank you
